Plasma Display Panels (PDP) are a fast growing and very popular new generation of large displays.
PDP are based on multiple micro-discharges working on the same basic principles as fluorescent tubes. A PDP module consists of a cell structure where a gas is confined. Each cell has electrodes that enable gas ionization under an electric field. The UV rays that are created from this plasma gas excite a phosphor layer that convert them into red, green or blue color.
PDP is the only technology able to provide direct view displays with diagonals in the range 37" to 84". Contrary to projectors, they can be viewed under room-light or sun-light conditions. Main applications are TV and public information displays.

SAINT-GOBAIN DISPLAY GLASS SOLUTION

High strain point glass CS77 features high stability during the numerous high temperature thermal treatments during PDP module processing.
We also supply soda-lime glass substrates for PDP optical filters that are necessary to shield EMI and IR emissions from the panel.
